I moved towards him hesitantly.“You know you can just play music on your phone right?” I said to lighten the mood. “Riya is going to have a live band playing. This is as close as we get to imitating that atmosphere. plus…music sounds more romantic when coming from one of those. It’s my father’s favorite thing. Step closer” I held my breath as I stopped in front of him. “Closer Mae.” I did.He sighed, exasperated and pulled me closer to his body. “Now put your hands around my shoulder.” He ordered. “follow my lead”He showed me a basic waltz and then some, where we could move around the room. I giggled when I almost tripped. “Let's just stick to staying in one spot alright?”My laugh died in my throat when I noticed that Ethan had gone completely still beside me. His hands still rested on my hips where he tried to steady me. when I looked up at his face inquisitively, his eyes locked into mine, revealing a blaze of desire. He sighed, “You’ll be the death of me, Mae.“ I didn’t know wha

I moved away from Ethan slightly so I could see Ishaan’s face. He was smirking. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Ethan bellowed. I was relieved I was finally out of Ishaan’s grasp, but I could feel drama brewing.“Relax mama bear. I was just having an…Interesting conversation with your wife, one that I would like to get back to when you’re done with your tantrum.” He cocked his head to the side and looked at me. “he’s very uptight isn’t he. I see why you’re in need of me.”Horrified gasps left my mouth as Ethan ’ s fist connected with Ishaan ’ s jaw. I heard someone call his name and realized the small voice was from my mouth.“Ethan, stop!” I shouted further. I got pushed behind as a couple men hurried towards them and tried to separate them. Ishaan was bloodied and grinning while Ethan still looked furious.“What is going on?” Riya said, confused as she took in the scene before her. A crowd had already formed around us and they parted to let her through. I cringed when I t

I swallowed, “ well, the first time we … You got angry that I was still in bed … ” I fidgeted with the bottom of his shirt and looked at the door longingly. Why did he want to have this torturous conversation?“get back in here.” He commanded, rubbing his face.“oh it no problem-”“Mae, get back. In here.”I edged back to my corner of the bed and pulled the cover over my body and looked at him awkwardly. It was probably better to face the other side. A gasp of surprise escaped my mouth when he pulled me to him and wrapped his big arm around my shoulder. Then he kissed my head. “I want you here, no where else.“ butterflies fluttered in my stomach and I shifted uncomfortably. I was supposed to be in charge of my emotions here. This was sex. Nothing else.“ We should probably get up. ” I cleared my throat to remove the thickness. “ callAltieri and apologize…““Fuck that.”The cell rang on his bedside table, drowning my words of protest. Ethan only cursed and buried his head in

”When are we leaving?”“ I was hoping tonight, but when Altieri offered the cinema date, I thought our trip back could wait.” He answered casually. “Is there a problem?”“Oh nothing, I thought we were supposed to be here for a week.”“Work things came up. Plus, we’ve met and wowed Altieri, no need to stay longer.”“Right.”Throughout the date that evening I tried to be as charming as I could be. All it reminded me of was the fact that we would have to go back to reality quicker than I had thought. When Ethan led me to bed I went willingly, attacking him with equal fervency as he did me. * * *“ Are you okay? ” Ethan asked suddenly, his arm on my back. I had gotten lost in thought while he was speaking to the pilot of our plane.“Yeahh, just feeling a little tired. I didn’t get enough sleep last night.”“I presume I am to blame for that.” He brushed my hair off my forehead and kissed me on my lips. “Hopefully I can get you in bed soon enough.” He

Bron was playing golf in the backyard with Benjamin.“This game is for chumps.” He declared as we approached him on the field.Benjamin laughed, “you are such a sore loser.”He scoffed at Benjamin but a grin was peeking through his frown. “We’ll if it isn’t the couple of the century.“Hello Bron.”“You two are back early.” He picked up a glass filled with whiskey and took a sip. Ethan frowned at it, but answered nontheless.“Work emergency. You know how it is.” He reached for his grandfather’s drink and downed it and he nodded in understanding.“Even in the short time, I’ve heard good things. You both look …well Mae, you looklovely.”“Yes, we all know it’s above you to give your grandson a compliment.” Benjamin said, joining us at the table. “You look lovely, dear.”“He doesn’t need more, his ego is big enough as it is” Bron said, filling his glass up again. “Our annual family tradition is just around the corner.”“This celebration is extra special because of the new additions to

Wynona’s home was everything I thought it would be and more. With the size of houses they owned I wondered how there was still room for the rest of us in this state.When I stepped in the living room, an older gentleman was smoking tobacco from a pipe like an aged man. Wynona’s father, my mind screamed at me.“Good day sir.” I greeted with a comfortable smile.He looked me up from my jimmy chop flats and summer jumpsuit with a flattering ribbon that held my hair away from my neck. Considering she had been with me the night she had dressed like a biker’s fan girl. I assumed he was checking me for flaws.“Mrs. Crowe. It is lovely to have you in my home.” He said in a terrible attempt at being warm. It was a curse for a man like this to have a daughter as eccentric and worrisome as Wynona. It made me feel bad for him. “I hope you don’t have more plans on going on drinking sprees with my daughter. She’s not married and has a lot more to lose.”And my empathy towards him was chucked out of

Two weeks went by smoothly with me and Ethan sinking into our new found routine. I would stay at home; cook, watch movies, draw, maybe hang out with Cecilia or I would be over at Wynona’s and sometimes Cartwright made guest appearances.But the highlight of those two weeks were the times I spent wrapped up in Ethan’s arms, or sharing a meal once in a while. The public appearances had been kept to a minimum. We were married now and in the first weeks of it, so it was normal to not have constant public appearances. This would be the third night we were stepping out together for an event. And it was none other than the party that included Ethan’s family tradition. My family tradition too, since I was married to him.When I heard family tradition, I had thought it would be a small scale event, with just the family, maybe mine would be invited. But the hall was semi filled with people I was beginning to learn, were considered important to the Crowe family, not just in the business sector.

“Listen to me Mae,” she gripped my shoulders. “He’s bad news.” “What do you mean by that?” she was scaring the hell out of me with her crazy eyes. Lisa had never breathed a word. Not even while she was with Ava. A guest walked past our spot in the shadows and she whipped her head up and blinked a few times. She looked down at me and anger flashed in her eyes. Shoving me away, she tried to barrel past me “Lisa wait!” I tried to grab her hand but she jumped away from me as if I had burned her. “Stay the fuck away from me!” she hissed and I had a flash back to Ava’s bathroom accident. Was this going to be a repeat of it? I took big step away from her. “You’re a smart woman, do the safe thing.” Satisfied that I wasn’t going to touch her, she continued on her way. Her blank expression replacing the anger I saw earlier before she turned. I was still in a daze when Ethan found me. He wrapped his hand around me and kissed my cheeks. “Are you alright?” he asked when he noticed how unr
